Featured in our yoga jewelry collection, the chakra necklace contains 7 gemstones that relate to the seven chakras. Garnate represents Muladhara (base chakra), Carnelian Swadhistana ( sacral chakra), Gold Topaz Manipura (solar plexus chakra), Malacite Anahata (heart chakra), Turquoise Vishuddhi (throat chakra), Lapis lazuli Ajna (brow chakra), Amethyst Sahasrara (crown chakra). These stones themselves are said to emanate vibrational healing and balancing energies that help alignment and balancing of the energy centres in the body.
The chakras being subtle energy centres that yogic mystics identified as being the 'wheels' or 'spirals' that move the subtle forces within and around the bodies (both physical and subtle). In many practices of mind body healing work they are taken as an established part of the subtle anatomy.
For a brilliant exposition and clear understanding of these centres and their important relationship to life and well being, listen to Caroline Myss's seminal work course'Energy Anatomy'.
As a positive healing aid our Om Namah Shivaya Healing bangle is excellent. It has inscribed into it the mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya" which translates as ' I bow to the inner self'. This ancient Sanskrit mantra acknowledges the power and wisdom of the inner self to 'know' the right prescription for ills, to heal itself and to encourage us to let inner wisdom bring us to optimum health.

The three metals that it is made from - brass, copper and silver - are said to balance the overall energies of the body and return equilibrium to the whole. It is a one size fits all and is equally at home on both female and male wrists!
